David S. Cohen, professor of law at the Kline Law School of Drexel University, has dedicated most of his professional and personal life to defending women’s rights. He has gained nationwide notoriety through Supreme Court cases advocating for the right to abortion in Texas, has fought against unconsented drug testing on pregnant women in South Carolina and has been actively participating in women’s rights within the Philadelphia area. He agreed to talk to The Triangle in context of the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

The Triangle: How would you describe the DNC for students who are not familiar with the purpose of the convention?

David Cohen: In our country, we have two main political parties. That’s not required by law, but that’s the way it came about. Every four years for the presidential election, each of the parties has to choose a candidate who’s going to run in the general election against each other. The convention is the final step in choosing that party’s candidate. The most important thing for each of the conventions is to formalize who that candidate is. The secondary goal is to get everyone excited about that candidate. Lastly, the formal goal is to nominate a candidate who will run against the other party.

TT: What do you think are the essential points regarding women’s rights and gun control that Drexel students should be aware of when it comes to Democrats vs. Republicans?

DC: Women’s control of their reproductive rights has always been a major issue. That means abortion, birth control, general access to health insurance and health care and quality of medical care. These are important issues that the Democratic Party has always put at the forefront of their agenda — that the Republicans have shied away from. It’s the huge difference when it comes to the two parties.

Also a big issue with women’s rights is equal pay and non-discrimination of employment. So, right now the numbers are that women earn about 79 cents for every dollar a man earns. Even when you look at comparable jobs, women earn less than men. The Democrats have put forth strong proposals to try to require by law equal pay and the Republicans have ignored these.

In terms of the Second Amendment, the Republicans are very much in favor of getting rid of restrictions on gun ownership and purchasing and they think that anything the government does to get in the way of their individual right to own a gun is unconstitutional. Whereas the Democrats, I don’t think they go far enough in my sense, but they are very much in favor of more gun restrictions.

TT: What is your view on Hillary Clinton’s ideas on programs for women and LGBT rights?

DC: I know she’s been a strong supporter of women’s rights, reproductive rights, equal pay, LGBT equality (recently) and marriage equality. She is a strong supporter of abortion rights, so I have no doubt those are honest positions and she will be an advocate for all important principles of equality with respect to women and LGBT people when she’s elected as president.

TT: Do you think having a woman as president will change stereotypes? How do feel about her position?

DC: As Michelle Obama said in her speech last night, [the nomination of the DNC’s first woman presidential candidate] is a glass ceiling that needs to be broken. If you look around the world, there have been so many countries, both developed and developing, that have had women leaders, and yet, we have not. This is something that needs to change in this country. We need to have young children who look up and say that both men and women can be president. We need to have adults who can say “I’m proud that my country has had a woman and man as a president.” Now just because she’s a woman, this doesn’t mean that she’s going to make perfect decisions. She’s going to have all the good and all the flaws that anyone has. If we had a very conservative woman running, I would not support her just because she’s a woman. I think it would be bad to have those policies. So the policies matter. But given that, I think she has good policies and I am thrilled that she is about to break this glass ceiling.

TT: If he is ever elected, how much of a threat is Donald Trump to women’s rights, birth rights and gun control?

DC: If he’s elected, one of the things that will be the most damaging is that he will get to fill at least one, if not more, of the Supreme Court Justice slots and when he does that he will put very conservative people on the Supreme Court who will be against women’s rights. I think this is one of the most important things in this election — the future of the Supreme Court — and I fear who he would appoint to the Supreme Court. I also fear what he would do, if the Congress is Republican and he’s president if they get rid of Obamacare. And anti-discrimination laws — he would sign all those laws into effect and that would be disastrous. He would be terrible with respect to Muslim women, whom he would treat horribly, just like other Muslims along with women of color. He has shown complete disregard for women throughout his career. I worry that just the general attitude about women that he would bring to this country would trickle down.

TT: Do you agree with the speakers of the DNC who have declared that this election is not a ‘Republican vs. Democrat’ issue, but a larger issue of morality?

DC: Trump is different than any other Republican presidential candidate that we’ve had. I don’t think he understands the Constitution; I don’t think he understands the presidency, what a president does. I think he thinks he can be a dictator just like a CEO of a corporation. As a CEO, you can say “I want this to happen,” so they’ll make it happen. The president can’t do that because we have the judiciary and the legislative branch that limit what the president can do. I don’t think he understands any of that. That’s a real threat to our constitutional democracy and in that sense I do think that the statement is right. And it shouldn’t be a Democratic versus Republican thing. It should be those who believe in a constitutional democracy versus those who don’t. On top of that he’s such a divisive figure when it comes to race and religion. It really goes against what this country stands for. He is a threat to our country and needs to be stopped.

TT: So, if that’s the case, what do you think appeals so much to Trump supporters?

DC: I think that people are drawn to other successful people and he portrays himself as very successful. They are also drawn to people who are charismatic, speaking off the cuff and saying they’re going to fix things, though he never says how he’s going to fix things. I think there’s a segment of the American population which is racist and is drawn to the fact that he is racist. There’s a segment of the American population who fears immigrants and is drawn to the fact that he is xenophobic. So, he appeals to different people in a lot of different ways. My hope is that over the next few months, people will focus on the fact that he has said awful things. Clearly he doesn’t respect women, minorities, and doesn’t care about equality, free speech and basic things and that his numbers will drop.

TT: What recommendations would you give to students who want to participate in the political life of their city?

DC: There’s a lot of things people can do locally. Unfortunately, I think there’s too much attention paid to the presidential election. The president and Washington D.C. decide national policy but a lot of things that affect people on a day to day basis are local.

Policing, which is such an important issue right now, is a local issue. The president can make speeches about policing or send money to the police department for more training. But in terms of who is running the police department and who is going to set a tone so that black people don’t get stopped unconstitutionally and then shot — that’s local.

The more young people and students that get involved in local politics, the better. The same voices that come every four years and speak up during the presidential election need to speak up every year during every election because they matter. So getting involved locally with local politics, local volunteer options, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, makes your life fuller. It helps people and makes you get away from the monotony of being a student.

Michael Nutter served as the 98th mayor of Philadelphia from 2007 to 2015. He is involved with the Leading for Change Fellowship at Drexel University and is currently an Executive Fellow for Lebow’s Institute for Strategic Leadership.

Triangle Talks: So about six months ago, you were the mayor of Philadelphia. What’s the transition out of office been like? What are you doing now?

Michael Nutter: Well, it has definitely been a transition. I’d been Mayor for eight years, a city councilperson for 14 1/2 [years] and a candidate in between — government and public service has taken up a good portion of my life. But, I knew I had to go. It wasn’t a surprise.

I thought what would be best for me would be to take a bit of a break. Most of January I was away with my wife and family. In February, I started getting busy and became a contributor to CNN. In late March, I started a professorship at Columbia University. I’ve since taken on a senior fellowship with Bloomberg Philanthropies with this program called “What Works Cities” and I became a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council. And now, I’m here at Drexel as an Executive Fellow for LeBow’s Institute for Strategic Leadership.

TT: You’ve only been an Executive Fellow here for about a month, but what have you done so far?

MN: What I’ll primarily be doing is working with Dean Linnehan and Allison Young to decide what the next cohort of Leader for Change fellows will look like and start fundraising for that program. I’ve mostly been working with Allison on what the future plans are with regard to my service here at Drexel. We’ll be going through most of these planning processes over the course of the summer to get them ready for the fall. I would say for now, it’s been mostly internal planning process getting ready for more forward-facing public engagement.

TT: When you were mayor, you set the goal of making Philadelphia a safer city, a smarter city and a more sustainable city; will you take strides to push these initiatives through Drexel’s leadership programs?

MN: I expect to. Public safety is one of the reasons I became involved with the Homeland Security Advisory Council. The reality is that [Department of Homeland Security] is involved in day-to-day public safety activities in Philadelphia and cities all across the country. I get to stay involved in much of their work from a public safety standpoint and that’s something I care a great deal about.

I’m also involved with President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper alliance, which deals with issues about education — the futures of young men and boys of color across the country. Again, this is very, very important to me and I expect to be talking about these kinds of issues on campus with students.

When I was in office, I focused a lot of time and effort on increasing funding for public education here in the city and we saw some gains in high school graduation rates. It’s important to make sure young people are staying in school, graduating and then going on to some form of higher learning. Those issues and those passions are within me. Whatever I’m doing, those are the kinds of things I’m going to be involved in and talking about.

TT: What’s something interesting you’ve learned from working with college students so far?

MN: That college students really do care about what’s going on — they care about their work and their engagement in school. They know what’s going on. They’re inquisitive. Very smart. They ask a lot of great questions, but they’re still trying to figure out some things. On the one hand they know that they need to be doing something going forward, but they may not know exactly what their next steps are.

A part of what I’ll be doing here on campus is having office hours to talk with young people about their careers and their futures. It’s always hard to figure out what any one person should be doing, but I think what I can share is some of my own experience. I think it’s important to help young people understand that sometimes you’re not going to have it all figured out. You know it was not my life goal to be Mayor of Philadelphia. It’s not something I thought about when I was seven years old, jumping on some particular path. Literally fell into it. I think what’s really important is that your eyes are open. Be open to new and different things so that when opportunity knocks we can answer if it seems right, if it feels right, or if it’s really not like work and more like a passion. Sometimes our passions find us. We just have to be open and aware.

TT: Let’s talk a little bit about leadership. What traits do you notice in young leaders?

MN: That you’re interested in doing something. You want to create change. You want to be actively engaged. What I like to see early on is a young person who wants to do something — whatever that something is. Maybe you want to be a nuclear physicist, fantastic. I don’t really know much about that but that’s your thing. I think what’s important is that you’re growing, you’re learning, you’re actively getting engaged, you’re talking to different people, and you’re trying to understand the world around you.

TT: It had to be a lot of pressure leading the fifth largest city in America. How did you handle the stress that came with the position?

MN: To take on one of these jobs or positions you obviously have to have a pretty fair amount of confidence in yourself and your own abilities, but that alone is not enough — you have to have a team. What made it less burdensome, less challenging and less stressful was that I had a fantastic team. We helped and supported each other through highs and lows of public service. Our basic motto was work hard, play hard. We had a lot of fun, but we got the job done. I think we made a difference in people’s lives. That’s what I love about public service and what I love about people in public service. They’re there for the right reasons. They’re doing the work, but it’s not a job. It really is a calling and a vocation.

TT: Who was your role model growing up? Why? How did they influence you?

MN: I certainly had more than a few. Some that I knew directly and some that I knew of and admired from afar. My parents, my grandmother, my sister, my family were very, very important to my growth and development.

I was talking with a guy last night and we realized we both worked at the same grocery store and drugstore in our neighborhood. The folks I worked with there were role models and mentors and allowed me to see what a small business was about as a very young person.

As a kid growing up in the ’60s it was great to know about, and then later learn more about people like John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. I read the life stories of people like Sojourner Truth and Paul Robeson and Maya Angelou. I always love reading biographies and histories to learn about people and their struggles. Everybody has a story. Every life is important. You can learn something from every person that you meet. Just listen and pay attention. Hear them. Sometimes I say to folks, ‘I know you were listening, but did you hear me?’ Because there’s a difference between the two. I’ve had incredible opportunities to learn from other people, to listen to other people, and to hear what they were saying and to read about their life stories and their challenges and their struggles.

TT: Is there a quote or motto you try to live by?

MN: More than a few, but one that I do really try to live by, said by Dr. Martin Luther King, is that “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience; but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

TT: What do you like to do in your free time? Do you have any hobbies?

MN: As unexciting as it may sound, I think some wonderful moments for me, given what I’ve been doing for the last 20 years, sometimes are really just being at home with my family. I’m limited in my cooking skills, but I make great pancakes and breakfast foods. You know, a great Sunday would be sleep in a little late, get up making breakfast for the family, going to a Phillies game and just hanging out. Then, coming back home, having a meal, watching a show or something like that.

TT: If you could make up a slogan for Drexel what would it be?

MN: “On the cutting edge, moving forward.”
